Dusty Groove has a number of the discs in this series for $9.99.

This thread is a bad influence, as this weekend I purchased two 78s, even though I'm not set up to listen to them. Pete Johnson and Albert Ammons, Walkin' the Boogie and Boogie Woogie Man on Victor. Also, Big Bill and His Chicago Five (Big Bill Broonzy I assume), I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town and Hard Hearted Woman, on Okeh. They looked like they needed a safe home.

Don Byas in Paris (Prestige)

I recently found two Billy Harper Denons in Academy Records. I was very happy.

Last night, Joey DeFrancesco Trio at the University of Texas at Dallas

Hank Crawford, Mr. Blues (Atlantic)

Eric Dolphy, Musical Prophet (Resonance)

Joey DeFrancesco Trio Friday, February 1, 2019, 8:00 p.m. Venue: Arts and Technology Lecture Hall Admission: $20 Season: 2018-19 The New York Times praised Grammy-nominated Joey DeFrancesco as “master of rhythmic pocket, and of the custom of stomping bass lines beneath chords and riffs.” He has garnered numerous awards, was inducted into the Hammond Organ Hall of Fame in 2014 and has topped the critics polls in DownBeat Magazine eleven times over the past 15 years and the readers polls every year since 2005. Joining Joey will be Victor North on saxophone and Khary Shaheed on drums.

John Coltrane, Like Sonny (Roulette)

Is the sound approximately as good as the Jack Wilson live at the Penthouse? Or not as good?

I regret not purchasing the Ellington Capitol set.

Jay McShann, New York: 1208 Miles (1941-43) (Decca).

I saw Amina Claudine Myers ln person leading an organ trio one time; it was great.

Andreas Arnold, Odisea (Bayla Records)

Tarek Yamani, Lisan Al Tarab (Edict Records)

Bud Freeman, Something Tender (United Artists). This was a very happy find at my visit to the Jazz Record Center in NYC a week ago. Bud Freeman playing with two guitarists, George Barnes and Carl Kress. There is no rhythm section. An unusual and beautiful record.

That sounds like a good idea.

Ditto.

The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival has always featured World music, often from Africa. The 2018 festival featured three African bands: Jupiter and Okwess (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Sona Jobarteh (Gambia), and Sidi Toure (Mali). It was a thrill and a treasure to hear these three terrific bands in person. Now the 2019 festival line-up is out and there are four African bands this year. Please pardon my excitement. Jupiter and Okwess returns, appearing on two days of the festival (and at Tipitina's). In addition, there is Niger guitarist Mdou Moctar. And Ivory Coast vocalist Dobet Gnahore (two performances). Finally, Diassing Kunda, from Senegal. I can't find out anything about the last band on the internet, except for one brief cellphone video on youtube. Anyone know of them?
